Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of coarse-grained sintered magnesia, in which a powdery magnesium oxide is assumed, this is processed into green bodies and the green bodies are subjected to a sintering firing at high temperature.
  • sintered magnesia In order to obtain the desired high temperature resistance in products made of sintered magnesia, it is necessary to achieve a sufficiently high density of sintered magnesia, which is usually called “sintered” for short.
  • the minimum value is considered, but the aim is to achieve bulk densities above 3.4 g / cm.
  • the green bodies which are to be subjected to the sintering treatment at high temperature, at which the material burns to death, must already have a sufficiently high density of min.
  • magnesium oxide has hitherto been compacted by means of mechanical presses, so-called roller briquette presses in particular being used for this compacting.
  • mechanical presses for the formation of green bodies, the density of which meets the aforementioned requirements, requires a relatively large investment and, in operation, the use of considerable amounts of energy because very large forces have to be used to compact the powdery magnesium oxide.
  • a comparatively large proportion of the green bodies supplied by the presses have insufficient mechanical strength.
  • Such green bodies disintegrate during the manipulation following the pressing and in order to work up the material contained in these green bodies, this material has to be sieved and subjected to a new pressing, which results in a considerable increase in the presses required energy expenditure and a corresponding reduction in the production capacity of the presses, since a considerable part of the magnesium oxide to be processed has to be compacted several times.
  • the method of the type mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the green bodies are made from an active reactive powdery magnesium oxide with a grain size ⁇ 0.15 mm by granulation build-up on a granulating plate with a material throughput of less than 250 kg MgO / m plate area and hour which are subjected to a sintering fire are formed.
  • Such a reactive magnesium oxide is e.g. "caustically" burned magnesia.
  • Ground caustic magnesium oxide which has a particle size distribution in which 90% of the material is smaller than 0.1 mm, is preferably processed to give the green bodies. This is also particularly economical from an economic point of view because caustic magnesium oxide of this grain size can generally be made available under favorable conditions.
  • the build-up granulation on a granulating plate can be carried out with a comparatively low drive power and, if the specified conditions are complied with, enables the formation of green bodies with a sufficiently high density, as mentioned above.
  • the use of the build-up granulation for coarsening the grain of fine-grained substances is known in various fields of technology, for example in the treatment of raw cement meal or in the treatment of fine-grained iron ores. Usually these are k> -__. nten techniques in which a build-up granulation is provided, when using granulation plates a material
  • the use of the build-up granulation to be carried out on a granulation plate also offers the further advantage of an automatically working size classification of the granules coming out of the granulation plate in such a way that only the largest granules, which are in each case in the granulation plate, are discharged, while smaller granules , as long as they are still in the granulating plate, increase in size continuously.
  • the green bodies formed in the granulating plate are removed automatically from the granulating plate by the structure provided in such a granulating plate;
  • Such a granulating plate is a cylindrical bowl with a rim rising from the edge of the plate bottom, and this bowl is rotatably mounted about an axis arranged centrally in the bowl bottom.
  • the plane laid through the plate bottom is inclined at an angle of approximately 40 to 70 ° to the horizontal.
  • the material to be agglomerated is continuously added to this plate together with a binding agent and, due to the sorting effect of the plate, first reaches the area at the lowest point of the plate.
  • the rotation of the plate agglomerates the inserted material to gradually increasing bodies, which rise with increasing size in the plate and are finally carried over the edge of the shelf.
  • the largest granules in each case leave the granulation plate at the overflow, while the fine material remains in the granulation plate at the deepest point of the solid bed until it is incorporated into granules.
  • only well-shaped granules, which also have good strength in the present process, are removed from the granulation plate, with practically no fine material being entrained.
  • the process according to the invention preferably provides that the material throughput (depending on the grain size)
  • an embodiment of the method according to the invention is preferably provided, which is characterized in that the granulation uses a material throughput which is in the area defined by the corner points mentioned below.
  • the rim height of the pelletizing plate can be selected so that a dynamic plate content is achieved which ensures that the intended mean dwell time of the material in the pelletizing plate is maintained at the given plate inclination.
  • a pelletizing plate the rim height of which is greater than the plate diameter, is used.
  • the inclination ⁇ which the granulating plate has with respect to the horizontal, is advantageously chosen between 55 ° and 65 °.
  • the speed of the pelletizing plate is expediently chosen empirically so that the fine fraction of the material in the pelletizing plate is taken along in the direction of rotation until shortly before the upper vertex of the pelletizing plate; this enables uniform operation of the plate and maximum classification of the granules.
  • water can be used as the granulation binder, the addition amount being able to be determined empirically while observing the resulting granules, and efforts are being made to find the minimum amount of binder. With the correct amount of binder, granules with a smooth surface result. If too much binder (eg water) is added, the granules usually have a blackberry-like appearance; If too little binder (for example water) is added, granules result, the surface of which has a golf ball-like appearance (indentations on the surface).
  • the use of water as a granulation binder has the advantage that no foreign substances enter the granules through the binder. are brought, which could possibly interfere.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of a granulating device provided with a granulating plate in a side view
  • FIG. 2 shows a granulating plate in a view from the front
  • FIG. 3 shows such a granulating plate in a section corresponding to the line III-III in FIG. 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a diagram of the choice of material throughput for a given grain size of the powdered magnesium oxide to be processed.
  • the pelletizing device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a pelletizing plate 2 which is rotatably mounted on a drive unit 4 provided with a motor 3 and which is pivotably arranged together with this drive unit on a support frame 5.
  • the inclination ⁇ of the granulating plate 2 with respect to the horizontal 7 can be adjusted with a pivoting device 6.
  • the speed of the granulator is adjustable.
  • the granulating plate 2 has a preferably flat bottom 8 (that is to say without any built-in elements, steps or the like), on the circumferential edge of which a rim 9 is provided.
  • the granulating device of the shelf 9 is guided on holders 21 so that it can be adjusted in height, so that the height h of the shelf can be adjusted to the desired value.
  • a carrier 22, which is attached to the frame 5 is intended for the attachment of auxiliary devices such as a spray device or a scraper.
  • the mode of operation is indicated schematically in a granulating process carried out on a granulating plate 2.
  • the pulverulent material from which the green bodies are formed by build-up granulation is applied to the granulating plate at 10 and carried in the granulating plate by the rotation thereof, which is indicated by the arrow 11, in the direction of rotation.
  • the gravity acting on the particles predominates, which takes place in the region 12 in the example shown in FIG. 2, the particles fall back into the lower region 13 of the granulator 2.
  • binder for example water, is sprayed into the granulating plate.
  • the particles accumulate in the course of the rolling movement of the material in the granulation plate and form spherical granules, which enlarge in the course of the granulation process through the continuous accumulation of further material.
  • Seen in the direction of rotation 11, the larger granules or bodies 14, then the medium-sized granules 15 and finally the particles 16 forming the fine fraction fall back into the lower region 13 of the granulation plate in the region 12.
  • the position of the area 12 up to which the particles in the granulating plate are carried along by its rotation can be changed by selecting the speed of the granulating plate.
  • the speed of the pelletizing plate is preferably set such that the particles 16 forming the fine fraction are taken up to just before the upper apex 17 of the pelletizing plate 2.
  • Such an adjustment makes the automatic size classification in the pelletizing plate 2 such that in the lower area 13 of the pelletizing plate, as shown in FIG , supports.
  • the largest is automatically discharged continuously Granules 14 over the edge of the rim 9 of the granulating plate 2, as indicated at 18.
  • These granules 14 represent the green bodies formed by the build-up granulation.
  • Example 1 Example 1:
  • Granules with a diameter between 10 and 25 mm were continuously discharged.
  • a scraper was provided on the frame of the granulating device.
  • the addition of the aqueous binder to the magnesium oxide results in a heating of the contents of the granulation plate because of the reaction enthalpy released in the reaction MgO + HO - »Mg (OH).
  • the discharged granules had a temperature of 130-150 ° C.
  • the granules had a point compressive strength of approximately 1000-1300 N.
  • the bulk density of the granules representing the green bodies was
  • Example 2 The procedure was analogous to Example 1, with four different types of caustically fired magnesia being used as the starting material, the mean grain size (median value d, ie that grain size in which 50% of the material is smaller than the specified value) and their composition in% by weight (also called% mass) are specified in Table 1 below.
  • the materials used in the individual examples, their amounts and the analytical values of the products obtained, and the temperatures used in each case when the green bodies were fired, are listed in Table 2 below.
